The Design Concept For The Lola Bag Crochet Pattern: A Fashion Backpack Purse That's Super Stylish
A high-fashion look, trendy backpack straps, beautiful gold or silver details, and a classic crochet design -- The Lola Bag has it all! Designing The Lola Bag was a really fun challenge, because I wanted to mix mediums and create a purse that didn't have too much of a "handmade" look, but rather a fashion feel to it. Therefore, it was crucial to design The Lola Bag to implement those classic staples that many high-fashion purses have: hardware latches, chain details, structured straps, etc. Every single detail and design element that went into creating The Lola Bag was put there on purpose to balance the proportions and of the bag and ultimately make it more of a fashion item. What resulted was a fashion backpack purse that's super stylish and oh-so cute to wear any season!
When buying the crochet pattern for The Lola Bag, you have two options: The Premium Pattern Package gives you access to a series of video tutorials (currently, there are 11 videos!) that help guide you through every detail of crocheting this bag. Or you can choose to forgo the Premium Pattern Package and get only the pattern PDF. Regardless of which option you choose, the pattern PDF does come with some photo tutorials to help guide you, and lots of tips and tricks. I absolutely love the way this fashionable backpack purse turned out, and I really hope you enjoy the crocheting your own Lola Bag!
You can also get the pattern from Etsy, Ravelry, or LoveKnitting!

More About The Backpack Details And Style Of The Lola Bag Crochet Pattern
The Lola Bag has so many details, which is why I love it so much! The bag is crocheted using simple stitches, with a flat bottom and structured body and a purse flap. The flap on the bag is specifically designed to provide a space/gap for the hardware latch recommended to fit it. However, if you decide to crochet your own Lola Bag using a different latch, there is instructions within the PDF describing how to crochet it to fit your hardware. The gold or silver metal hardware detail design is also incorporated into the backpack chain straps as well as the large tassel detail. Additionally, there is a drawstring closure to The Lola Bag that also features smaller tassels that are made by hand. The drawstring can be made using leather or yarn (both are described and shown with a photo tutorial). Lastly, there is a structured top handle that stays in place, as well as a smaller doorknob handle on the back of the bag to hang it up. I could go on and on gushing about all the crocheted details and hardware details!
